    Year End is fast approaching!
    If you are still short of goal, this is a good time to encourage those who have yet to make a gift to this year’s ACA to do so now.
    A couple of suggestions:

    1. Stock Donations: Can save donors from paying capital gains tax of the appreciated value. Call 206-382-4845 for further details.
     
    2. IRA: If you are 70 ½ or older, there are potential tax benefits when you transfer funds from your IRA to the ACA. Contact your IRA plan administrator

    Good Stewardship begins
    with gratitude     for all God’s gifts and extends outward to others.
    Please reference the suggestions below to help prepare your parish to welcome those this Christmas     (live or virtually).

    1. Audit your Parish website to ensure it is up to date including Christmas graphics.

    2. Make sure mass times (live or virtual) are conveyed across all Parish communication channels (ambo, web, bulletin, telephone, app, social media, etc.)

    3. Create time during Christmas Mass for giving opportunities. Perhaps allowing a few minutes before Mass and after (as well as normal offertory) for people to give electronically. Or consider embedding message in your live-stream on how to give online.
